Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the crystals format different from the shot?
- Same 400 mg of dietary nitrate per serving, different format — the crystals come as 20 g sachets you sprinkle over food or mix into drinks, while the shot is a ready-to-drink 70 ml liquid. Choose by preference and portability.
- How much nitrate does a sachet provide?
- 400 mg of dietary nitrate from 100% concentrated beetroot juice per 20 g sachet. Beet It uses concentrated juice rather than pulp to reach that consistent nitrate dose.
- When should I take it?
- Beet It suggests one to three hours before training, with some athletes 'loading' over several days before an event. Dietary nitrate is studied for endurance and time-to-exhaustion benefits.
- Is it certified for banned substances?
- Yes — Informed Sport, with each batch screened against the WADA banned list. Beet It Sport is the product used across much of the published dietary-nitrate research.
- Is it vegan?
- Yes — it's made from concentrated beetroot juice, with no animal ingredients, and is gluten-free and caffeine-free.
